This excellent book gives the beginner and advanced rock hound all the info they need to get started finding and cleaning beautiful Arkansas quartz crystals for their collection. This book contains lots of useful information about where the mines are (including maps), how to collect, clean and trim crystals, as well as how to identify a surprisingly large number of varieties of quartz AND crystal types. Campsite and lodging information included. We had been crystal digging in Arkansas before, but found this book made our most recent trip immensely more enjoyable and successful!

Based on the work of Howard and Dorothy Sun, this book focuses on a colour exercise to help you raise your own awareness of colour and to learn more about yourself. Included are chapters on subjects ranging from auras, chakras and colour visualisations, to the more fundamental use of colour in your home and in your choice of clothes. Dip into this book and you will certainly bring more colour into your life.

This anthology presents a superb cross section of Chinese literature, from the time of Lu Xun to the present. The editors have included works from the mainland, as well as Taiwan, and the scope of authors and genres is tremendous for a single volume. A good starting point for anyone interested in Chinese literature, as well as those already familiar with it.

As an "AP Comparative Government & Politics" high school teacher I highly recommend this text. I switched to this text after using Theen & Wilson's "Introduction to Comparative Politics".

The book is logically organized by themes like "economic worlds" and Islamic countries and former Communist countries. Each country is introduced with geography, maps, demographics, and history. Then, it introduces form of govt., leadership, participation, etc. The text is very readable for students. Each country section includes tables, maps, leader bios, and special focus boxes. The country section ends with terms, discussion and essay questions, and web sites. As well, at the end of country sections there is an overarching theme, like federalism, that is introduced and applied to the specific couuntry in world context.

I like this text as a primary text book for my intro high school students. My other text, Theen & Wilson, is most useful for students to go more in depth with explicit detail and jargon after they have read McCormick. I have found McCormick's book sufficient with supplementary readings from "The Economist" and internet research.

This book is a must. WARNING, however, the text goes NOT include France. France is a mandatory country of study in AP Comp. I simply supplement France through other sources and still use McCormick.

This book is incredible. I love it! It achieves that rare, delicate balance between science and poetry.

This book is an absolute must have if you are learning to paint(or draw) or polishing your skills.The author has given a detailed description of the various techniques involved in creating your art work.I personally love this book & always use it for reference.

A guide to time travel. Your difficulties as a tourist in other eras, your various options in time machines, & all the fun you can have as a Time Traveller are all covered in this whimsical book.

There is also a section of books & films about Time Travel.

i know where I'm going on my vacation. Or, more accurately, WHEN.

A great read! :)

I'm looking for 'les mémoires de guerre' (de Gaulle) in the french language. It's not possible to find this book again in France. If you can find it, it will be great. Thank you.
